Awkward first meetings in Lioraeth's living room were becoming something of a running tradition.
Even after Giselle and Yari had taken turns punching each other out, the air wasn't nearly as tense as it was when Jiaoying showed up at the front door with her kids.
Tavian and Liora hadn't taken their eyes off of Solomon or Yari since the moment their mother explained their relationship.
Liora was more surprised by the fact that her mother had somehow ended up dating two people instead of one, while Tavian was more stuck on the fact that one of her partners was a man a year younger than even him.
Jiaoying had been nowhere near ready to introduce the two halves of her life just yet, especially when things with her children had yet to be properly mended.
But after the incident with Raidis at her home, the children refused to leave their mother's side. But as of yet, Jiaoying had yet to even explain who Raidis was, or what he wanted.
